Robot Arm Kinematics

Robots are usually defined based on the links using the object

(Link) as follows

The input parameters for the function Link are basically the

DH parameters of each link and they are usually in the order

θ, d, a, α.

If not specified, the link is set to be a revolute by default.

Robot Arm Kinematics

>>L.A(pi/2); % returns transformation matrix for (theta=pi/2)

>>L.type % returns the robot type (revolute or prismatic)

>>L.a % returns the value a

>>L.d % returns the value d

>>L.alpha % returns the value of alpha

These two different sets of joint coordinates result in the same

end-effector pose.

Puma 560 model (Inverse kinematics)

Two solutions to the inverse kinematic problem, left-

handed and right-handed solutions. The shadow showsclearly the two different configurations

Ikine6s functions is used for closed form solution

Ikine6s can’t be used with robot of less than 6 dof

Sometimes, inverse kinematics fails if the point is unreachable.

Make sure the pose of interest is already within the workspace.

Inverse kinematics (Different possible solutions)

Robot Arm Kinematics

Inverse kinematics (Numerical Solution & under actuated)

Using ikine function

Depends on optimization techniques to find the inverse

kinematics solution

Ikine(T, qi, ‘mask’, [1 1 1 0 0 0]);

Where T is the desired pose, qi is initial vector required for the

optimization problem, number of 1’s of the mask refers to the

number of dof of the robot actuated links.

Trajectory planning (Joint Space)

Using jtraj function

A joint-space trajectory is formed by smoothly interpolating

between two joints’ configurations q1 and q2.

Robot Arm Kinematics

Trajectory planning (cartesian Space)

Using ctraj function

For many applications we require straight-line or obstacle

avoidance motion in Cartesian space which is known as

Cartesian motion

Depends mainly on interpolating between two poses of the end

effector in the cartesian space in the start and end points T1 and

T2.
